Cultivating supportive communities of practice is at the forefront of Sustain's work.
Designing and building strong food systems has never been more vital. Many local governments are leading the way. Networking will amplify their impact.

Local government food systems networking
These events are opportunities for co-learning, workshopping and trouble-shooting among local governments across Australia--whether they are well into their food systems strategies or just getting started.
Facilitated by Sustain, local government staff will discuss policy developments, best practices, and emerging research.
How They Work
The online sessions are held quarterly and run for 2 hours. Up to 5 staff members per local government are invited to participate.

These events are exclusively for local governments that are members of Sustain. Annual metro LGA memberships are $1000+GST.
